/ Ian Davis <iand at internetalchemy.org> was heard to say:
| There could be a canonical interchange RDF format that is consumable
| by standard XSLT. Perhaps no typed nodes, no attributes other than in
| the rdf or xml namespaces, no collections, no nesting (i.e. one level
| only of rdf:Description - use rdf:resource to link instead)

My own solution to this problem is RDFTwig[1] which will be the topic
of my presentation at Extreme Markup Languages[2] this year. I've put
the code and some examples online. I'll put the full text of the paper
up as well after the conference.

The basic idea is a set of extension functions for XSLT that allow the
stylesheet to view arbitrary portions of the RDF graph as trees.
